I need the Vegas weather to stop being so nice because I just want to go outside and have fun. Instead, I’m stuck inside writing this dissertation.

I can’t even put into work how mentally exhausting it is to have chronic health problems and be a graduate student.

I’m heading to ASHE this week and excited to present work from my dissertation on Saturday. My presentation is titled “I Never Got to Be Just a Student:" How Latinx Graduate Students Experience Basic Needs. #ASHE24 #HigherEd

So many new followers on here, let me reintroduce myself! I’m a doctoral candidate in higher education at UNLV. I study equity in graduate education and STEM education. My dissertation explores how Latinx graduate students experience basic needs and I’m on the job market!

Ariana, what are you doing here?
